What is the correct order of operation
To solve the expression 6/2(1+2), we need to follow the order of operations or precedence rules, which is commonly remembered using the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
In this case, there is no exponent or parentheses involved, so we move straight to multiplication and division. However, there is a sequence of operations to be considered when multiplication and division are present in the same expression.
The multiplication and division operations should be performed from left to right. So, let's break down the expression step by step:
Step 1: 6/2 = 3
Step 2: 3(1+2)
Now we evaluate the addition inside the parentheses:
Step 3: 1+2 = 3
Now we substitute the value we obtained back into the expression:
Step 4: 3(3)
Next, we perform the multiplication:
3 * 3 = 9
Therefore, the solution to the expression 6/2(1+2) is 9.
